We have two divisions with 4 teams each playing a 60 game season every other Saturday at Zeda’s Pizza in Fitchburg MA. The individual leagues are named for deceased members of the league. Five teams make the playoffs, the best record gets home field throughout and 2nd best record of the division leaders gets a home series against the best non-division winner while the final two teams play a one game playin for the right to face the best division winner in the playoffs.

New players are always welcome

Satire: Mafia Families and the Priests that Serve them deride Vatican’s Continued Stance against Murder, Theft & Prostitution

Members of the Cosa Nostra were united in their disappointment that the Vatican has not changed their stance concerning the sinfulness of murder, theft and prostitution.

“It’s a real cultural problem.” said a spokesman for the Bocce crime family. “Don Giuseppe was saying just the other day that the church’s stance unfairly stigmatizes people whose culture, tradition and inclination. has steered them in this direction for centuries.”

“It’s a terrible disappointment.” said Fr. Mel A Stophilies of Angel of Light Parish and the unofficial chaplain to the Polenta family. “Why just the other day Dona Polenta was talking about how Pope Francis’ attacks on the mafia had affected her 14 year old grandson who has dreamed of entering the family business since he was five and has just started his career as a runner: ‘Does the Vatican understand what his can do to a 14 year old just staring in the rackets? It can destroy him'”

At the business of Dino and Luigi Vercotti they echoed this statement noting that on the local level their priest have been more supportive.

“At our parish they have been much more caring toward the women in our business just trying to make a living.” Said Dino Vercotti in between answering calls for appointments, “In fact our parish priest Fr. Heretic has been using a more compassionate translation of scripture where Jesus tells the woman caught in adultery in John 9:11: ‘Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now that’s not sin any more.’ It’s really made both our girls and their customers feel better about themselves.”

In Philadelphia some locals still expressed hope that the Vatican will see the light on these things.

“If the church is going to be part of the world and not hated they need to change with the times and recognize that the acceptance of things like adultery, theft and the occasional murder (as long as it doesn’t cross the wrong racial lines) is where society is.” said Fr. Morty Sine “After all if they took those lessons to heart have spent hours filling in and delivering ballots in the wee hours after election day? If they hadn’t done that Rome would not have been able to celebrate the election of only the 2nd Catholic president of the United States.”

“After all one man’s sin is another’s way of life.” said Fr Terr. I know our parish has greatly benefited from the support we have given the local families and I’m sure eventually the Church will see the advantages of such an arrangement.

Dear AOC: Please Call for a Boycott My Blog and DaTipJar

Posted: December 11, 2020 by datechguy in fun

12/11/2020

To: The Honorable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

1973 Westchester Ave

The Bronx NY 10462

From DaTechGuy

Fitchburg MA 01420

Subject Boycott Request:

Good Morning:

I understand that you have in the past called for boycotts of business that have expressed support for President Donald Trump in a public way. I would like to formally request that you call for such a boycott of this blog and particularly my TipJar

While many other blogs have openly supported President Trump over the entire terms of his administration unique reasons why this blog in particular should be the subject for such a call.

  1. On two occasions as credentialed Press I have questioned Donald Trump. On both occasions not only did I not make the premise of my questions: “Why do you suck, Why does the GOP suck? or not even “What are you going to do about you and the GOP sucking so badly?” But on both of these occasions I was complemented directly by Donald Trump for said questions. In fact at the top of my blog AND is a direct quote of Donald Trump saying to me after such a question: “It’s nonsense nobody reports that, but you do that’s why I like you.” The constitutes a betrayal of the press credentials that I held for those events .
  2. I endorsed Donald Trump twice during his 1st campaign, the 1st time before the GOP convention even before my candidate of choice at the time (Ted Cruz) had consented to do so but more importantly the 2nd time the day after the Billy Bush tape dropped. Such an act of picking up the flag and moving forward when everyone else was running scared. An unpardonable sin.
  3. Finally I’ve not only supported all the attempts to reverse fraudulent moves by the Democrats in multiple states to steal this election even to the point of being locked out of my twitter account six times since election day for daring to put out statistical evidence of Joe Biden’s “magic ballots” but I’ve not paid off bets on said election yet holding the money aside until the final decision of the courts and the state legislatures thus not acknowledging the legitimacy of the MSM calls.

For all these reasons it is incumbent on you to call for a boycott of DaTechGuyblog.com in general and DaTechGuyblog.com’s Tip Jar in particular for crimes against liberalism much in the same way that you did of GOYA foods, presumably with the same effect.

I will do my best to keep a stiff upper lip as a result of the financial effects of such a boycott and if I suddenly find myself able to purchase a car made in the 21st century to replace my 1999 Buick or am able to pay off my mortgages I’ll do my best to bear that in dignity as well.

Yours

Peter DaTechGuy Ingemi Proprietor of DaTechGuyblog.com
